Way to repetitive and dull
User Rating: 4.6 | The Powerpuff Girls: Mojo Jojo A-Go-Go GBA
As a powerpuff girls fan, i thought i made i good purchase when i bought this. I'm not really as much a GBA gamer as i am a PS2 gamer so i didnt really know what game was good or not. This one looked fun so i bought it. First of all, it IS a fun game. Real cheap fun. It's really repetetive. Shoot, dodge, punch, repeat. The only real variation is the occasional ability to pick up trees, lamp posts etc and hit with them. That's kinda cool, you can also get laser boosters that power up you laser eyebeams. You play as all three powepuffs and you can change between them whenever you want. Sadly there is NO difference between them. In the show they have slightly different powers (like blossoms ice breath), it's a shame their differences arent a part of the game. Back to the laser eye beams... the power ups include having a "beam spredder" that spreads your beam into several directions, u can get super punches, sonic punches, bigger and stronger lasers... there are a few more powerups. Sadly they dont really look good. And powered up lasers can really look cool, but these are pretty lame. I want seisure inducing effects! There's one type of power up that includes the use of all powerpuffs, these also look lame. The graphics in general arent really that exciting, your foes move stiffly and the powerpuff girls just sorta float in mid air, when they get hurt the animation consists of one frame... The enviroment in the game is nice though, the levels are colorful, there are many details in the background and occasionally you'll se fleeing townspeople. Also the two idle powerpuffs sometimes cheer you on with dances and such. The whole game is based on capturing Mojo Jojo and stopping him from evil doings. All 6 levels are introduced with a small cutscene. The sound in the cutscenes (which are reduced to evil laughs and the narrarators "The City of Townsville!") sound ok and fit in nicely. As i said the game is mainly about shooting enemies, and doding their attacks, and that can really be difficult. In that area the game doesnt seem too well thought out, often u must keep an eye on 5 enemies, their bullets, and shooting them. Very often you'll find yourself shooting wildly (which works just as well as playing the game properly). When you finally beat the game, you will probably feel very little satisfaction.
